Oh! A lifetime ago (coinciding with the premiere of Windows 98!) I received from a friend at Dallas Semiconductor one of their prototype 1-Wire Weather Stations, and built up a relatively complex system around it using many other sensors and modules and software developed by the 1-Wire online community.
While the weather station has been offline for around 15 years and was eventually sent to a farm upstate, I may still have some genuine DS18B20 temperature sensors in my shop… basically the same sensor that’s in the Qubino probe!
Reading a bit more, it seems the same probe is used with the Fibaro Smart Implant, and there’s a DTH available for it. I may have to have a go. Hopefully the temperatures here moderate soon and I can squeeze a few more months out of the Comfort Strip.
Ok I should probably read through the lengthy Fibaro Smart Implant thread again, but can someone here maybe say if pull-down resistors are needed on the DS18B20s using the Fibaro? Their docs don’t mention it.
Sorry for the threadsurrection, but to those interested, I did in fact order the Fibaro Smart Implant in January of last year, though I only got around to installing it within the last month. I ended up putting it on the other platform using a custom driver that has support for the external DS18B20 sensors. I also had to go with the HE because the main automations involving the outdoor temperature are to control the 5000W garage heater with an Aeotec heavy duty smart switch. Funny that Aeotec, ie SmartThings, doesn’t support their own Zwave switch on the platform.
For those interested in something that will work with smartthings, There is now a community-created edge Driver here that will support up to four probes on the fibaro implant.
I just put up a new thread this week since we’ve been getting so many questions about DS18B20 probes and the new architecture.
